ECHN said that those who need a second dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna can be scheduled up to six weeks after the first dose without restarting the series.
Other health systems, including UConn Health and Waterbury Hospital, have also had to cancel appointments due to a vaccine shortage. We apologize to those impacted by this cancellation and want to assure you that we are making every effort to receive additional doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in a timely manner. Please understand this is a temporary delay and we ask for your patience with the process as the demand to receive the vaccine is high, a statement from the health system reads.
